I'd like to think I bring some energy with both my bowling and fielding."He added: "I don't think we are that far away having seen the first three games. We aren't far away from a win and turning the momentum around," added Anderson.Despite the three reverses, Anderson is confident that England can turn it around."I know we are 3-0 down but the dressing room seems just as positive as when I left. They are still in good spirits. We know we are just one game away from turning the momentum around. We are looking to Wednesday to be a good all-round performance with both bat and ball," added Anderson.
